On the way back from a yearly guilty pleasure, attending Bayfield WI annual Apple Fest. After a few hours at the fest, stuffed with apple brats, apple beer, apple desert, apple this, apple that, an actual bab of apples and of course a gallon of apple citer, we stopped along the south shore of lake superior on our way back to Duluth..

After swimming and boating through caves, we finally rested on an incredible smooth pebble beach. Stones of all colors everywhere. I found myself entranced by different colors, the contrast.
